My invention relates to a radiator for house heating purposes and. more particularly to a vertically disposed tube or jacket having an air flue which radiator is adapted to be placed in useful floor space. a

This invention is a continuation in part of the radiator illustrated and described in my co-pending application serial'No. 360,162, which has now matured into .Patent No. 1,838,083, issued Dec.

The principal, object is to construct a vertical tubular radiator which will conveniently fit into the corner of aroom, and provide same with air flues through which air 'will be drawn in from below 'at'room temperature and discharged from above at a higher temperature. 7

Many advantages are obtained from a radiator of this type among them being the economy of space, increased radiation, and-improved circulation due to the long air flues which create a turbulent suction and discharge due to their length. The layer of'warm' air at the upper portion ofa room is activated by the rapid discharge of air, thereby providing circulation which is not obtainable with the present type of 'low radiator installations.

Other features will appear in the following specification and drawing in which a preferred embodiment of my invention is described and illustrated. I In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is an elevational view of one form of radiator.

Fig. 2 is an' enlarged vertical section through the radiator shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the lines 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a vertical section through a radiator showing another form of radiator structure.

Fig. 5 is a cross section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a vertical section of a radiator with a ,feed line passing through the air flue.

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary vertical section through a radiator having a plurality of flue tubes inserted therein.

Fig. 8 is a cross section taken on the lines 88 of Fig. 7.

Fig. 9 is an elevational view of a triangular form of radiator with part broken away and Fig. 10 is a cross section taken on the line 1010 of Fig. 9.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3,the body of the radiator, designated generally by the reference it will not take up.

character 10, comprises a contiguous outerflwall 12 and inner wall 14, which form a tubular jacket, having a chamber 16 .7 between said walls, through which'steam or hot water will be passed, according to the heating system desired."v The body is preferably shaped into ajacket formation to provide a central air flue '18, through Suitable inlet and outlet openings are preferably provided at the top and bottom of each radiator bodyas at 2426, and each opening is provided with the usual fittings for making the necessary connections. Reinforcing bands 27 may be secured to the outer'wall of the radiator body as shown in Fig. l, to strengthen the wall and provide resistance against internal pressure. While I prefer to construct each radiator of substantially the full room height, allowing sufficient end space above and below for the intake and discharge of air through the fiues, it may be desirable for some purposes to construct shorter sections and join them together as shown in broken lines in 'Fig. 2. A-suitable base 29 is provided .to support the radiators on each fioor.

In Fig. '6, I have shown a radiator with the feed line 30 passing .through the air .fiue 18a. Instead of stopping the feed line 30 at the lower T connection as in Fig. 1; the feed pipe is continued through the air flue and provides additional radiated heat to the air passing through said flue. A branch connection is taken off the feed line at 32 toone opening in the bottom of the radiator and a valve34 is placed in said branch to control the supply to the radiator. This form of structure is preferred when used in buildings having more than one floor, since the feed line will run through all the floors and any number of branch connections may be taken off. The use of the radiator without the feed line running through, is particularly adapted for bungalows, garages, top floors and similar places.

Additional flues 30 may be provided as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 by inserting tubes 38 within the chamber 16a and securing same at their ends to or any other suitable way.

' a radiator having two sides' 44-46 at substan- The heat from the flue may also be utilized to advantage for heating small rooms in the floor above by placing one end of an apron 40 around the upper end of the radiator and having the opposite end pass through the upper floor as indicated in dot and dash lines in Fig. 1. A register 42 may be added to control the heat, in the manner usually provided in hot air installations.

Still another adaptation of my improvedradiator is illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10, which shows tially right angles to each other, which are adapt ed to fit in close relation to the walls in the corner of a room. A third side 48 completes the outer Wall, all three of said sides being formed contiguously with an inner wall 50, to complete the jacket formation and provide fora flue 52. By placing angle straps 54 at the edges of this structure as indicated in Fig. 10, the walls 44 and 46 are supported in spaced relation to the building wall 56, thereby providing an additional flue 58. While the structure shown is substantially triangular, it is to be understood, that other shapes such as square or rectangular-may be niadeif desired.

Various other forms of structure may be made which 'willcome within the scope of the following claims.

I claim: 1 1

1. A radiator ofthe character described comprising'in combination, an elongated vertically disposed l substantially cylindrical "jacket, said jacketcomprising a corrugated "outer wall and cylindrical inner wall, ,'the interior of which foims'a steam or water tight compartment,in-

let and outlet connections at the ends of said jacket, and an air flue formed by the inner exposed wall of said jacket, through which air is adapted to be drawn from below at room temperature and discharged from above at a higher temperature.

2. A combination as defined in claim 1 in which a feed line is adapted to pass through the air flue, from which feed line a connection is taken to said radiator.

3. The combination of a vertically disposed steam or hot water jacket having an air flue therethrough, with an apron, one end of which is adapted to be secured to the upper end of said jacket and the other end pass through a floor section opening into the room above.

4. A radiator of the character described comprising in combination, a vertically disposed jacket having inlet and outlet connections, a flue formed by the inner wall of said jacket, and a feed line passing through said flue.

5. In a radiator, the combination of a vertically disposed jacket having a substantially triangular crosssection, two walls of which form substantially a right angle and are adapted to conveniently flt into the corner of a room, and an air flue formed by the inner wall of said jacket.

' 6. A combination as defined in claim 5, whicha feed line passes'through the air flue.

'7. In an elongated vertical radiator, comprising interconnected sections placed one above the other, each section comprising a tubular jacket, with'a flue formed by theinner Wall of said jackets, and a feed line passing through said flue.
